Description

The “Mothers” issue launched the first standard (nine-by twelve-inch, thirty-two-page) magazine format that continued until issue number 86. Chwast appointed himself editor and art director. Included were essays and pictures devoted to famous and infamous mothers: Friedman’s photo of Jackson Pollock’s, Miyauchi’s painting of Giotto’s, and others. “Trixie and Dixie” (Pamela Vassil and Lilly Filipow) introduced an advice column, and Scher wrote about the “Mother Mafia.” With this issue ten thousand copies were distributed to subscribers. This issue was Glaser’s last appearance in the Graphic.
